This sweet senior boy is looking for a second chance at Cottonwood Heights Police Department.

It’s clear life hasn’t been easy for him. He appears to be a senior and has old scars covering much of his body, along with significant wounds that have healed over time. He’s also missing his front teeth. Whatever his past looked like, it’s obvious he’s endured more than any dog should.

What amazes us most is that despite everything, he remains incredibly loving. He adores people, seeks out affection, and just wants to be close to someone who will show him kindness. He did great during his dog test and showed little interest in cats.

This gentle soul deserves a soft bed, a safe place to rest, and a family who will remind him that the world can still be a good place. After everything he’s been through, we’d love nothing more than to see him spend his golden years surrounded by love.

If you’d like to meet him or learn more, please contact (801) 352-4450

Help us find this adorable Pitopotamus a home ❤️

Coco is a 2-year-old house hippo looking for a fresh start after finding herself at the shelter through no fault of her own. She was left in the care of her owner’s mother, and when her owner never returned, she was brought to the shelter.

Despite the changes in her life, Coco has remained incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loving. She enjoys the company of other dogs, adores people, and is more than ready to trade shelter life for couch naps, belly rubs, treats, and a family of her own. Coco would do best in a home without cats or chickens, but otherwise she’s ready to be someone’s loyal best friend.

We would love to see Coco spend this weekend settling into a home instead of a kennel. If you’ve been thinking about adding a dog to your family, come meet this wonderful girl.

Her adoption fee is $75 and includes her spay, vaccinations, and microchip. South Salt Lake Animal Services is open Monday–Friday from 9:00 AM–4:45 PM.

Spaghetti has been waiting at West Valley Animal Services since February 15, 2026—more than 100 days—for someone to finally take him home ❤️

At just 2 years old, this big, blocky-headed bully mix has become a staff favorite thanks to his affectionate, goofy personality. But after months in a kennel, shelter life is starting to wear on him, and he’s more than ready for a couch, a family, and a place where he can truly relax.

Spaghetti is active, playful, and always up for an adventure, but what he wants most is to be with his people. He’s the definition of a velcro dog—happy to follow you from room to room, soak up attention, and collect as many belly rubs as possible. He also has a hilarious habit of turning himself into a drum set and happily accepts b***y pats from anyone willing to perform.

He’s done well with other dogs after slow, proper introductions and has enjoyed playtime with canine friends once he’s comfortable. Like many dogs who spend extended time in a shelter, he’s developed a little leash reactivity and would benefit from continued training after he settles into a home.

Spaghetti is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to start his next chapter. His adoption fee is just $25. Go meet him at West Valley Animal Services Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Spatula has been waiting at West Valley Animal Services since February 18, 2026—more than 100 days—for someone to finally take him home.

This 4-year-old Vizsla mix is equal parts playful goofball and cuddle bug. He loves hanging out in the yard, splashing around in a kiddie pool, soaking up butt scratches, and making everyone laugh with his goofy antics. Hand him a toy and he’ll proudly trot around in circles with the biggest grin on his face, daring you to try and catch him.

He’s dog neutral and knows several commands, including sit, shake, and paw. He can be a little possessive of toys around other dogs, so he prefers to enjoy his favorite treasures on his own. With people, though, he’s all wiggles, smiles, and fun.

One of Spatula’s most charming qualities is his signature smile. Every time someone walks by his kennel, he flashes those goofy teeth as if he’s personally inviting them to come hang out. And once playtime is over? He’ll happily curl up in your lap and convince himself he’s a tiny lap dog.

Spatula is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and available for adoption through West Valley Animal Services. His adoption fee is just $25. Go meet him at West Valley Animal Services Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

S’mores has been waiting at West Valley Animal Services since March 3, 2026, and this sweet 2-year-old girl is more than ready to find a family of her own ❤️

During her time at the shelter, S’mores has been nothing short of wonderful. She’s affectionate, well-mannered, eager to learn, and the kind of dog who seems determined to be everyone’s best friend. While she may need a little time to warm up to new people and dogs, once you’re in her circle, she loves with her whole heart.

S’mores is dog-friendly and enjoys playing and wrestling with her canine friends, but she’s just as happy curling up next to her favorite person for a cuddle session. She has excellent leash manners and would much rather stay close to her human than pull ahead looking for trouble.

One volunteer recently took S’mores out for the day, and she proved just how adaptable and easygoing she is. She rode calmly in the car, handled new experiences with confidence, and even survived the ultimate test: the car wash.

S’mores is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dog-friendly, and available for adoption through West Valley Animal Services. Her adoption fee is just $25. Go meet her at West Valley Animal Services Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Alta is a sweet 1-year-old Red Lab mix who has been looking for a home at West Valley City Animal Services for almost a month.

Alta can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a few treats, a little patience, and some gentle affection, and you’ll quickly see her true personality shine. Once she feels comfortable, she’s an incredibly sweet, loving girl who just wants to be close to her people.

At only a year old, Alta is still young enough to enjoy adventures, hikes, and playtime, but she also has a gentle, thoughtful side that makes her a wonderful companion. She’s dog-friendly, eager to make friends, and would thrive in a home that helps her continue building confidence.

Those soulful eyes have a way of melting hearts, and it’s impossible not to root for her. Alta is the kind of dog who may not be the first one bouncing to the front of the kennel for attention, but she’s absolutely worth taking the time to get to know.

Alta is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find a family of her own through West Valley Animal Services. Her adoption fee is just $25. Go meet her at West Valley Animal Services Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Despite spending months in the shelter, Antelope has remained cheerful, affectionate, and eager to make new friends. He’s the kind of dog who seems grateful for every walk, every treat, and every bit of attention he receives.
